A revelation!
Impressive! Wondered how process would work. It was seamless! A joy to cut, chop and dice now
The whole process was very easy &…
The whole process was very easy & straight forward. I was a bit sceptical about sending knives by post, however, the packaging was brilliant and had no problems sending them off. One of the knives I sent had a lot of small chips along the blade, and one item was a pair of scissors. All the items had never been professionally sharped before. The difference when they were returned was amazing! I would go as far to say they are now sharper than when they were new. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. Even if you knives are old, mine were 20 years+, its well worth having them sharpened, much cheaper than buying quality new knives.
Brilliant service!
I've been looking for somewhere to sharpen and repair for a while but didn't really think of looking online. I really liked knife sharp becuase they were fairly local and mentioned on the website that repairs were covered in the service becuase I had tried to chop bones with my knives and chipped one of them! The postal service was a really convenient way to do it and worked really well and my knives are now nice and sharp and looking loads better!
Excellent service
Excellent service. Very simple process. I think it was about 5 days start to finish including delivery and that was over a weekend. Knives are perfectly sharp with a great edge on them. I will be using them again. I have tried to sharpen knives myself many times and can't get anywhere close to this level. Knives are so much nicer to use when sharp.
Never Sharper!
The shipping container arrived in a couple of days, turn around was fast. My knives have never been sharper!

great arrived quick very sharp i found the knives were sharper than there were brand new
Great service!
Great repair and sharpening done on 3 japanese knives, will use again for sure
Excellent experience
Excellent experience, Matt and the team were super helpful arranging delivery around returning from holiday. The knives themselves have come back sharper than when they were new! Couldn’t fault the delivery experience, all super easy to follow and sort. Wish I’d done this sooner.
Great product let down by poor couriers
It was really difficult to select the right number of stars here so I've gone with 4 and I'll explain why.
Firstly, my knifes have been returned in good condition and very sharp so I'm very happy with that. The process is simple, well explained and easy to follow.
The issue I had was the overall service.
I made my order on the 12/4 and have just received the knifes back just under 2 weeks later on the 25/4. This was considerably longer than I had anticipated and not what the website would have you believe about the service. I had also upgraded to DPD delivery.
The way the service works, is that you make the order on the website, they send you a box to put the knives in (this part uses the courier Evri). You then return the knives, they sharpen and post back (these two stages can be upgraded to DPD). Given Evri is best known for their parcel black hole (google it), I opted for DPD on the 2nd and 3rd stages. Unfortunately there was no option to upgrade the first stage to DPD.
True to form, Evri seemed to hold onto my box for days and days with no update on a delivery date. Why companies trust their brand image to Evri astonishes me.
This obviously isn't Knifesharps fault but when I contact Knifesharp all they could say was "we can't control what happens after we send the package", that is a true statement but not reassuring and not what I would call first class customer service, this is why I dropped a star.
Anyway, the sharpening was so good I am going to get more of my knives sharpened and just hope Evri manage to deliver on time.

Excellent job, highly recommended!
Started off really well and the end result was amazing!!! From the start the arrangements were easy to follow and well executed. I ordered a knife to use whilst mine were away. This arrived in the box I was sent to return my knives for sharpening. My knives have returned to their original expensive start!!! Cannot recommend enough
Great Service
I was slightly worried about sending £1K plus of knives in the post, but the service was very professional and well managed with correct packing materials etc. The knives were retunred with in a couple of days which is quicker than expected and the quality of the sharpening was, in my opinon very good! Would certainly recommend and use again
Exceptional Quality and Service
We went for the 5 knife sharpening service and the whole process is immensely painless. You receive a box with simple instructions, sheaths, returns label and bag to send everything off with. As a person who appreciates good planning and sensible packaging, they were already onto a win.
What I received back a week later were 5 weapons. These things are now so sharp, you can get cut looking at them. Tomatoes don't stand a chance. Chicken is shredded with zero effort. I have no doubt that if a finger tip got in the way, it would be removed smoothly. To be clear, I haven't damaged myself with these knives. The sharpened edges are very neat and smooth, giving them a wonderful profile. They are once again a joy to use.
If there is a flaw to recognise it's the slow turn around time of the courier service. I suspect that the choice of courier helps keeps the cost of the service low and that's something I can appreciate; it isn't the fault of Knife Sharp that I opted to send 5 out of 6 knives off for sharpening and was therefore limited on what I can cut for a week.
I would like to give a nod to Matt, who was incredibly prompt in his replies when I contacted Knife Sharp for an update. He was brilliant and professional.
I would happily use this service again, though it'll be quite some time before I need to send them back!

Easily sent my knives safely in the provided boxes and received back super sharp knives swiftly.
Amazing
After spending pounds and pounds on different variety of knife sharpeners the results has always been having more damaged knives. so eventually after spending a full hour on a stupid sharpal and seeing my knife being even more dull than before I've just decided to send to them. My santoku was in a really bad state and it looks new now. it seems a bit pricy but you eventually gain in time and peace of mind as return. will use this service more and more again when needed!
Damaged handles
Damaged handles. If using this company be careful as they returned my knifes with damaged handles. They claim it’s covered in the T&C’s but they are very unclear.
Turnaround & sharpness is faultless.
20 year old Global Knife Set as good as new!
From start to finish process was seamless & simple with amazing results. Paring Knife in particular had knicks out of the blade and never really happy with home sharpening, now, you wouldn't know it was 20 years old! Decided to use this service at least once a year, would highly recommend. Thank you KNIFE SHARP.

My knifes come back good as new all within a week so happy with the service

Simply fantastic
Simply fantastic! My old Global knives are as sharp, if not sharper, than the day they were bought! Incredible service and great value for money!
I’ll recommend to everyone!
Thanks
Fantastic Service
Easy to use service. Clever triple use packaging made the whole process very simple. Knives were sharpened quickly. Very pleased with the end result - 5 global knives returned to ‘as new’ standard, with one broken knife tip repaired too.
